Objectives

To advance education for the public benefit by providing and assisting in provision of facilities in schools in particular but not exclusively at Bonzeni High School, South Africa and The Nichiolas Robinson School, Ehtiopia. The charity has identified literacy as key to attaining these objectives and uses modern technology to deliver this in schools.

Activities

Yellobric use the most cost-effective, robust and sustainable methods to deliver appropriate content where it is required all over Africa. We use proven digital technologies to drastically expand access to educational materials. Our aim is to deliver literacy and empower students so that they can escape poverty.

We deliver a library in a child’s hands. In schools that may only have 20 paper books we are able to deliver over 2,000 for the same cost. We support charities working in schools with our digital library and they assist us to ensure that it is put to best use.

We don’t just stop there. Partner charities give us regular reports on how the devices and content are being used, additional content required and how our digital library is impacting on literacy. In return we provide training, learning materials and technical support to our projects and help them download and even create their own eBooks.

Not only are we tackling content provision, but directly assisting teachers by using eLearning platforms. This enables students to learn via video from expert teachers. They also benefit from fun online testing every week so they and we can see progress in real time.
